Psalm 104:12-18
Contemporary English Version
12 Birds build their nests nearby
and sing in the trees.
13 From your home above
you send rain on the hills
and water the earth.
14 You let the earth produce
grass for cattle,
plants for our food,
15 wine to cheer us up,
olive oil for our skin,
and grain for our health.
16 Our Lord, your trees
always have water,
and so do the cedars
you planted in Lebanon.
17 Birds nest in those trees,
and storks make their home
in the fir trees.
18 Wild goats find a home
in the tall mountains,
and small animals can hide
between the rocks.
Psalm 104:27
Contemporary English Version
27 All of these depend on you
to provide them with food,
Psalm 104:30
Contemporary English Version
30 You created all of them
by your Spirit,
and you give new life
to the earth.
